- Compression Refrigeration Training System (AR - 045)
- Hard Copy User manual
The educational unit is designed to illustrate the compression refrigeration system. The trainer is provided with all necessary components to investigate the system operation and perform wide range of experiments.
- The education unit consists of a vertical stand to demonstrate the compression refrigeration circuit components to the trainees.
- The refrigeration circuit consisting of a hermetic compressor, condenser, evaporator and expansion element.
- Finned tube heat exchangers are used to act as the evaporator and the condenser.
- The pipes of both heat exchangers are transparent.
- Three capillary tubes of different lengths and a thermostatic expansion valve are provided to be compared as expansion elements.
- The trainer is equipped with a receiver for refrigerant so that the refrigerant can be added to or removed from the refrigeration circuit to allow investigation of the effects of the system overfilling or under-filling.
- The educational unit is supplied with sensors to record temperature and pressure in the refrigeration circuit and the electrical power consumption of the compressor.
- The measured values are demonstrated on digital displays.
- The flow rate of the refrigerant is determined by means of the pressure measurement.
- At the same time, the measured values can also be transmitted directly to a PC via USB.
- The educational unit is equipped by DAQ software.
- Changes in the refrigeration circuit parameters can be viewed dynamically in the software’s log p-h diagram.
- The unit is fixed on four caster wheels to eases its motion inside the laboratory, these caster wheel are equipped with brakes to prevent the trainer from sliding during the operation, and a drawer cabinet is added for storing purposes.
- The unit is treated against rust and electrostatically painted.
